Hi Pirate,

Thanks for reaching out.

As the packages in question are key packages, we can't easily remove 
them. Hence adding a bookworm-ignore tag doesn't really change the 
situation in bookworm in any way. Hence, the question is whether fixing 
it now and adding an exception is better or worse than letting the bug 
ship in bookworm. If I understand correctly, than the required change 
would mean a new complex package (corepack) which (again, if I 
understand correctly) is considered also by you as inappropriate at this 
time. If you confirm my understanding, I agree that those bugs can be 
marked bookworm-ignore (I already marked them as bookworm-can-defer, 
which is less strong and less official).
